GUP0604 - Formal Spoken Arabic : Basic Course with Mp3 ISBN: 9781589010604, ISBN10: 1589010604
Softcover, 365pp.

With a non-grammar-based approach, this book fosters communicative competence in Arabic on all levels and develops speaking proficiency without abandoning Arabic script. It has proven to be clear, effective, and relevant to the needs of Americans living and working in the Arab East. Task-based lessons feature basic dialogues between Americans and Arabs, explanations of new structures, vocabulary expansion, and exercises; and provide gradual access to the sounds and script of Arabic by emphasizing listening and reading comprehension first, then slowly adding oral exercises and activities until the student has achieved basic proficiency. Lessons cover topics including: heads of state, cities and countries, official titles, geography, systems of government, lost luggage, getting acquainted, establishing common ground, seeking and giving information, personal needs and family, handling problems, eating out, bargaining and buying.
